6. COMMANDS AND RESPONSES
61
TERMINAL
Prepares the serial line for communication with a terminal. In terminal mode, text sent to the
DSPEC echoes back to the host and response records sent to the host by the DSPEC are
terminated with a carriage return and line feed. This command has no effect when sent via the
mailbox. See also COMPUTER.
TEST
mask
Performs any combination of the DSPEC internal selftests where mask represents a 16-bit
integer with each bit set specifying a test as follows:
Bit 1:
Spectral data memory test (destroys spectral data).
Bit 3:
Serial line test (serial loop-back connector required)
Bit 5:
Mailbox memory test (may cause mailbox comm error).
Bit 6:
Front-panel LED test.
Execution Errors:
%004016080<CR>
Spectral Data Memory or Mailbox Memory failed test.
%004064083<CR>
Serial Line failed test.
VERIFY_BLRE
blue[,inc]
Allows exploration of the legal baseline restorer time constants. It responds with the closest
legal baseline restorer time constant to blue. If inc is included, the number reported is inc
steps from the closest legal value of blue. See SET_BLRE.
Sample Response:
BLUE 000000000000010
10 is a legal setting.
Execution Errors:
%131128085<CR>
The first value is incorrect.
%131132080<CR>
A value is needed.
VERIFY_CORRECTION_FLAT
corr[,inc]
Allows exploration of the flattop correction settings. It responds with the closest legal setting
to corr. If inc is included, the number reported is inc steps from the closest legal value of corr.
See SET_CORRECTION_FLAT.
Sample Response:
CORR_FLAT 000000.51234114
0.1234114 is a legal setting.
Execution Errors:
%131128085<CR>
The first value is incorrect.
%131132080<CR>
A value is needed.
VERIFY_DELAY_COLLECTION
delay[,inc]
Allows the collection delay settings to be explored. It responds with the closest legal setting
to delay. If inc is included, the number reported is inc steps from the closest legal value of
delay. See SET_DELAY_COLLECTION.
